The Largest Farm in the World.

In the extreme southwest corner of Louisi-
ana lies the largest producing farm in the
world. 1t runs one hundred miles north and
south, and many miles east and west, and is
owned and operated by a syndicate of North
ern capitalists. Their general manager, j. b.
Watkins, gives an interesting account OF the
gigantic plantation, which throws the great
Dalrymple farm in Dakota into the shade
completely.
"The 100000 acres of our tract" Mr..
Watkins said, twas purchased in 1883 from,
the State OF Louisiana and from the u. s.
government. AT that time it was a vast
grazing land for the cattle of the few dealers

sion found over thirty thousand head Of
half-wild horses and CATTLE My work was
to divide the immense tract into convenient
pastures, establishing stations or ranches
the neighborhood of $4,000 The land l
found to be best adapted to rice. sugar, corn
and cotton. All our cultiyating, ditching,
&c, is done by steam power,
1--WE take q track, say half mile wide, for
instance. and place an engine on each side.
The engines are portable, and operate cable
attached to four plows, and under this ar
rangement we are able to plow thirty acres a
day with only the labor Of three men. Our
narrowing, planting, and other cultivation is
done in like manner; in fact. there is not a
single draught horse on the entire place, We
have, of course, horses for the herders of
cattle, of which we now have sixteen thou
sand head. The Southern Pacific railroad
runs for thirty-six miles through our farm,
We have three steamboats, operating on the
waters OF our own estate, upon which there
are three hundred miles of nayigable waters
We have an ice house. a bank, a ship-yard

Would not close cutting rather stimulate
the growth by exposure Of the scalp? Such,
at least, Is the popular belief So, too, with
indoor lifei women, who ought to show it
most, whether In the home or in the factory,
are never bald as men are; ON the contrary,
1t Is most common with men in good cireum-
stances, as Mr. Eaton's statistics shOw-men
who spend larger proportion Of their day
time In the open air than the indoor worker.
believe the common form of badness Is
due entirely 10 the kind Of hat that is worn,
principally to the high hat and TO the hard
let nat, but also to any other head covering
s snat eonstrlct the blood vessels which nouT-
Isn tne mar bulbs. To have clearer under
stdhulnS OF this, we must remember that
the scalp IS supplied with blood by arteries AL
the BACK, sides and front Of, and living close
to the skull, which diminish in Size by fre-
quent branching as they converge toward
the top of the head. They are In a most
favorable position to be compressed, living
on unyielding bone and covered by thin It's
sue. Consider what effect must be produced
by close-ftting, heavy and rigid hat; it's
pressure must lessen to certain extent the
flow OF arterial blood, and Obstruct to a
greater extent the return Of the venOus the
result being a sluggish circulation In the
caplllaries around the hair fOlicles and
bulbs, consequent impairmentO of nutrition,
and nnal atrophy. This pressure Is not triv-
lal or Imaginary, as any one will admit who
has noticed the red band Of congestion on
the forehead when hard hat Is removed
after moderate exercise.

The habit of wearing warm coverings on
the head is not Of recent date. The armies
OF Europe, for instance, no inconsiderable
number of men, with heads close cropped,
have worn for long period warmer and
heavier headgear than the modern dwelers
in cities without the same tendency to bald
ness. Nor are the heavy fur coverings of
Northern races incompatible with luxuriant
hair II is also difficult to understand what
injury can result from close cutting, per Sc.
The growth is in the hair follicle, and in it
alone; there is no vital connection between
the hair outside the scalp and within; it is
usually cut closest at the back of the head
and neck, where badness never occurs,
